On Wednesday, March 31: Eat a Sub, Help Support Special Olympics

Special Olympics Oregon and 18 Jersey Mike’s Subs in the Portland area are celebrating the 11th Annual March “Month of Giving” campaign. Additionally, two Vancouver, Wash., locations teamed up with Special Olympics Washington for the Month of Giving.

During the month of March, generous customers have been making donations at participating Jersey Mike’s restaurants, including those in Portland, Tualatin, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Keizer and more.

The campaign will culminate with Jersey Mike’s “Day of Giving” on Wednesday, March 31, when local Jersey Mike’s restaurants will give 100 percent of the day’s sales – not just profit – to the partner charities.

On Day of Giving, local Jersey Mike’s owners and operators throughout the country will donate their resources and every single dollar that comes in to more than 200 different charities including hospitals, youth organizations, food banks and more.

Jersey Mike’s hopes to raise a record-breaking $8 million for local charities striving to fulfill their missions and make a difference.

“This March, we celebrate our Month of Giving with a renewed sense of determination to do all we can to raise as much as we can for important local causes,” said Peter Cancro, Jersey Mike’s founder and CEO. “I invite you to come in this month and make a difference in someone’s life.”

Customers can grab a sub, share a catering box with healthcare workers or order through the app for delivery and contact-less pickup.

Since Month of Giving began in 2011, Jersey Mike’s has raised more than $32 million for local charities. Over the last two years, the Portland area Jersey Mike’s have raised $107,900 for Special Olympics Oregon during the Month of Giving!
